Supposedly OpenGL driver isn't working

I just did a fresh install of Arch on my friend's unused machine, installed KDE, installed a few deps that I thought would get everything up and running quickly, and installed Steam. I installed Garry's Mod without problems but running it gave me the error:
Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'! Either your  video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.
I have installed mesa and a few other drivers I believe, rebooting hasn't helped, etc. My GPU is an AMD Radeon HD 6450.

Tell us what drivers exactly do you have installed.

Hey, have you checked this topic ? Looks like solved by removing steam runtime.

Re: Supposedly OpenGL driver isn't working

Post the full steam log. I've run into several issues where that was the most obvious error, but where there were actually underlying errors too.

Also make sure you have the relevant 32-bit drivers installed also.
